Abstract

The problem of the representation of signal envelope is treated, motivated by the classical Hilbert representation in which the envelope is represented in terms of the received signal and its Hilbert transform. It is shown that the Hilbert representation is the proper one if the received signal is strictly bandlimited but that some other filter is more appropriate in the bandunlimited case. A specific alternative filter, the conjugate filter, is proposed and the overall envelope estimation error is evaluated to show that for a specific received signal power spectral density the proposed filter yields a lower envelope error than the Hilbert filter.
